	Manhattan Project - MSN Encarta
		Manhattan Project, the name given to the United States effort—strongly aided by the United Kingdom—to build the atomic bombs that helped end World War II (1939-1945).
		The Manhattan Project ushered in a new era in human history known as the Atomic Age.
		Among the scientists and mathematicians who participated in the Manhattan Project were Philip H. Abelson, Hans Bethe, Niels Bohr, Sir James Chadwick, Enrico Fermi, Richard Feynman, Otto Frisch, George Kistiakowsky, Ernest Lawrence, Philip Morrison, Seth Neddermeyer, John von Neumann, Rudolf Peierls, I.

	Manhattan Project - Conservapedia
		The Manhattan Project was the code word for the project that developed the first nuclear weapons—"atomic bombs" as they were then called—in history.
		Manhattan borough had at least 10 sites that supported the project, including the project's first headquarters located in a skyscraper across from City Hall.
		It was not until Dec. 6, 1941, the day before Pearl Harbor, that an all-out effort to build an atomic bomb began under the direction of General Leslie Groves.

	The Manhattan Project
		While communication led to the overall scientific triumph of the Manhattan project, an intentional lack of communication between military and government superiors and the Los Alamos laboratory led to one of the most devastating moral disasters of the twentieth century.
		Aside from scientific curiosity, the main motivation of the Manhattan project scientists throughout the duration of the development of the atomic bomb was a fear of a nuclear-empowered Hitler.
		Thus, the Manhattan Project can be viewed as a success, with or without regard to ethics; a group set out with a mission, and in the end, everyone’s expectations were exceeded.

	::The Manhattan Project::
		The Manhattan Project brought together all the knowledge then known with regards to nuclear fission and culminated on July 16th, 1945, with an atomic bomb being exploded at Alamogordo in New Mexico.
		The Manhattan Project was based at a 428,000-acre industrial complex in New Mexico; thousands of the West's best scientists had worked on the project at one time or another.
		To add to the project leaders woes, there was no constant wind direction and no-one could guarantee that the debris from a successful explosion would not blow into towns many miles away.

	Department of Energy - Manhattan Project Signature Facilities
		The advent of nuclear weapons, made possible by the Manhattan Project, not only helped bring an end to that war but also ushered in the atomic age and determined how the next war—the Cold War—would be fought.
		In addition, the Manhattan Project became the organizational model behind the remarkable achievements of American "big science" during the second half of the twentieth century.
		The project President Roosevelt approved in December 1942 had spent $2.2 billion and employed 130,000 workers at its peak by the end of the war in September 1945.

	The Manhattan project: A bartender spills his secrets on the king of cocktails
		Mike Buich, Tadich's owner, allows his bartenders to personalize their Manhattans to a certain extent, but they must be made with three parts bourbon, one part vermouth and just one dash of Angostura bitters.
		Manhattans, when made by a master of the craft, can produce euphoria in discriminating souls, and they've been known to tempt angels to return to physical manifestation, just for one more sip.
		A Manhattan made with dry vermouth is known, not surprisingly, as a dry Manhattan, but add both styles of aromatized wine and the drink becomes a perfect Manhattan, "perfect," in cocktailian terms, being the descriptor always added to cocktail names when equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouth are called for.

	Manhattan Elsewhere
		On complete map of the New York City area, Manhattan is dwarfed in size by the other four boroughs and surrounding megopolis.
		But for someone on the ground in Manhattan, the population density, the height of the buildings, the endless number of things to do, and the fact that many people don't often leave their neighborhoods, much less the island, for weeks/months on end makes it seem a very large place indeed.
		If you've been to Manhattan and some of these other places, I hope you'll find it as interesting to visualize these strange positionings as I have.

		The idea of a Manhattan Project for energy is a bad one and provides the wrong way of looking at our energy supply challenges and their attendant geopolitical concerns.
		This modern Manhattan Project mind-set says that if only we were to get serious and devote enough resources, we could invent an alternative to oil and solve the 21st-century energy problems our country faces.
		A present day Manhattan Project for energy would have to focus on making any of the variety of alternatives that already exist cost-effective.
